history

Sellendorf manor around 1860, Alexander Duncker collection

Sellendorf appeared for the first time in a sales document from the bailiff of Polenz , who sold the place to the four brothers from Stutterheim on August 14, 1439 . The first documentary mention comes from the year 1517. In Schöneiche, once the Vorwerk von Sellendorf, the land reform created a people's estate, whose employees also settled here. The place belonged to the Golßen rule and was inherited several times over the next few centuries. On March 10, 1713, the lawyer Hartmann Peter von Haberkorn bought the place for 9,300 thalers . His heir, Auguste Elionore von Haberkorn, married Ernst von Houwald on November 29, 1806 , to whom she sold the place on June 1, 1808. In the following decades the owners changed again: on May 31, 1822 for 6,700 thalers to Gustav Friedrich Becherer and from him on June 25, 1841 to Karl Friedrich Geisler. One of his sons, Friedrich Wilhelm Theodor finally took over the manor house and built several day laborer's houses, a stable and a distillery . The existence of 28 houses with a total of 273 residents is recorded from 1855. There was also a brick factory and a windmill. In 1907 Malwine Staberow purchased the estate. Presumably, however, it did not make a big profit because the owners changed frequently from then on. In 1914 it belonged to a Baron von Levetzow , a year later to Hans Cochius, who sold it to Carl Wegener in 1921. In 1935 Ernst Goertz was the owner, who sold it to Richard Lieberknecht after only three years. After the end of the Second World War , the manor house was demolished. The existing buildings belonged to Anna Adamcweski from 1948, who was expropriated in 1953. On April 14, 1966, Hohendorf was incorporated. At the time of the GDR the company was a state-owned property and was returned to private ownership after the fall of the Wall in 1998. Together with the neighboring community of Glienig, Sellendorf formed the new community of Steinreich on December 31, 2002 .
